That guy is the king of wrong. Every move just guarantees more pain and suffering but those idiots keep voting for him.

Draedron ,

lol Florida really is the Bavaria of the US. The same exact thing happened there

madcaesar ,

Are Bavarians as stupid as Floridians? Voting for morons every election cycle?

“Weatherz are woke libz!!! Rain is a Chinese Jewish CRT and if you ingest the water, Hunter Biden did the chemicals in it so you’re a trans! If trump could diarrhea in this water, even up high from his gold helicopter, floods would all melt and turn into enough nachos for everyone and beer and we’d have a second super bowl, but instead DEMZ locked him in prison for being Jesus and making a most BEAUTIFUL phone call!!!” My penis don’t work guud and it’s frustrationing cuz I want to use it for gay and not tell anyone else at church!!!"

Snapz , (edited )

Oh, here we are again in the hands out, crying for help and funds portion of the “no guv’ment!!!” and “we’re gonna sucede!!!” crowd.

Is your raised truck not high enough for you to take shelter from the floods in? Can’t you hang your wet clothes to dry from the “rolling coal” pipe you have? Can you use those 27 trump flags made of asbestos as a blanket to warm you?

Maybe as you’re waiting for the “guv’ment” to come rescue you like a frightened fairytale princess, feed you with taxpayer dollars and repair your uninsurable without “guv’ment” help homes… Maybe you could just float on your back in the water while you wait and think about your stance on climate change?

And remember, as your elderly neighbor’s dead body floats by next to you, you can always use all your left over “Joe Brandon, I DID THAT!!!” gas pump stickers to put over their eyes and mouth to keep them closed.

Wow, scathing! I love it. They deserve and need to hear it.

DeSantis’s disaster response was good. He did an excellent job the last few hurricane seasons, including when Ian hit us, and he’s cognizant of how crooked the insurance companies were, among other things.

Say what you will about everything else (and I have a lot to say, trust me, I would not vote for him), but y’all are just demonizing him because he’s a Republican. And, quite fairly, for some destructive party line policies.

Also… y’all haven’t seen anything yet. I was in this rain, and again, it’s nothing compared to Ian or the upcoming season.

jeffw OP ,

His party voted against disaster relief funding multiple times. What did he actually do? Throw toilet paper for a PR stunt like Trump?

secretlyaddictedtolinux ,

jesus and the sky god and their special ghost friend are all we need! you all must be a bunch of evil woke transgenders if you don’t realize desantis is the only thing protecting our great maga country from a giant woke rainbow of destruction

charade_you_are ,

Desantis and the like are just like shitty villains in a bad super hero story.

But but but…he completely eliminated climate change from Florida just last week!

hglman ,

In the press conference he said that this was a typical storm that just happens. You could just feel him lying.

“Nothing to see here!”

All this christofascist virtue signaling backfires.

Ban books? Bible gets banned. “No, not like that!”

Wrench ,

If a typical storm causes rampant flooding, maybe it would behoove you to invest in infrastructure and tighten building codes.

You know, the job of local government.

hglman ,

No meaningful infrastructure project in the US is solely funded by local government.

juice702 ,

Don’t say ‘Climate Change’

nowwhatnapster ,

Say ‘Climate Crisis’

vxx ,

If it isn’t science, is it god punishing us for our sins?

DeSantis cuts state funding for thing then demands the federal government pay for it.

skuzz ,

That’s just being conservative. If you don’t have to spend money, you’re saving! /s

(But seriously on some level, probably the tactic. Why spend state money when you can ignore and then plead for money from the Federal government? It’s so perfectly grifty. Lives don’t matter, only votes enough to stay in power.)

Liz ,

I lived in a Republican suburb. While I hate car dependent design, that’s what we had. One particular intersection would be backed up for miles during rush hour. What did the city do? Ignore the problem until it became a “traffic emergency” so they could use federal funds to expand the intersection. To assholes the emergency designation is just another tool to get ahead in life.

DrunkEngineer ,

Local city government cuts funding for sewer/storm drain repairs, then demands DeSantis pay for it.

jacksilver ,

I think the difference here is that floridians at local and state level want to cut funding, so they’re welcome to do that. The issue is, if that’s what you vote for and enact, don’t then turn around and ask for government money and/or turn down other states when they ask for federal money (like after Sandy).

jaemo ,

Gawrsh Ronnie, good thang yew got them shahny whaahte galoshers…

RememberTheApollo_ ,

Yo get what you vote for.

Maybe tell him the stormwater projects will “wash the gay away” and Desantis and his followers will be all over it.

InternetUser2012 ,

I’m going with God is punishing them for their treatment of the gay community. Throw their shit right back at them.

fiercekitten ,

I’m so glad his focus for the last two years was on terrorizing queer people instead actually fixing anything. /s

squirrelwithnut ,

Republicans are idiots

hglman ,

Driving out everyone in Miami is part of the point here.

afraid_of_zombies ,

Remember reading about the starving that went on in the early USSR. How their mismanagement led to crop failures while their neighbors had great years of food production.

I kinda want to get out of infrastructure work. I see how cost disease is ripping it all apart, and I keep thinking that if I stay in the field I am going to be dealing with disasters that are coming. With all the tools I need to fix things but not legally allowed to do anything as the floods kill us all.

I am on a liferaft trying to get us to safety while people are cutting holes and all voted to ban my patch kit.

3volver ,

I look forward to seeing the cost of insurance in flood prone areas go up and up and up. No way to get people to move preemptively due to climate change other than to make them go bankrupt first. STOP fucking bailing them out, STOP making US citizens pay for the shitty decisions of red states.

afraid_of_zombies ,

fyi it isn’t “just” houses. I am waiting for the annual calls from local governments about what got trashed this year.

Water-proofing stuff makes it run hotter and often makes it, counterintuitive I know, more likely to have fire/explosion issues. Hotter stuff doesn’t last as long or work as well. Organic matter releases methane both in the ground and above it. Add this to total fucking inability of civil engineers to do a site visit and acknowledge that the former non-flood zone is a flood zone now and you get yearly problems.

Not doing it this time but I almost got sent across the US to deal with a single pumping system that is browning out and dying this week. Local person is handling for me and I will be on the phone. So there is my Monday.
